The highly qualified personnel of Orliman constantly focuses on research and development of ever more efficient products to satisfy the needs of orthopedic establishments, the medical community as well as the users, providing new technologies and functionalities to its products.

The Challenge

When Orliman contacted us, their website was in dire need for a major upgrade, which had been postponed for many years. Besides, they felt the need to refresh their brand identity and change the domain name, so they were looking for an agency able to tackle all these upgrades smoothly. For this job, they chose us as the most suitable partner, thanks to our experience not only in coding, but also on the capability to perfectly integrate designs.

The Solution

After careful consideration, we chose Drupal 7 as the most suitable CMS to make use of some existing modules and improve the cost efficiency. Drupal 7 is a friendly and powerful open source technology with high level of flexibility and scalability. We worked on some modules to import CSV files, deleted some modules fusioning and Back-office modules, improved the search engine, product export, templating and some static blocks.

We also applied the new design to match their new identity. The homepage of Orliman shows an interactive image of a woman doing stretching. Users can click on each interactive point on the image to see more information about the orthopedics products. The colors chosen for the website were white, grey and orange to establish a feeling of reliability and safety. All features and designs are integrated perfectly into the new system.

According to Bang HA - one of ITC’s Drupal developers involved in the project - “we applied the best practices such as image optimization and cache whenever possible to help save bandwidth, increase the speed and the overall performance. We also used a Drupal feature to compress CSS files so that unused white space will be removed, then used another module to minify Javascript files. These practices help Orliman save bandwidth, reduce time lag and latency, increase the speed and overall performance.” Besides, the code was optimized, which makes the website run even more smoothly, become more user-friendly and mobile responsive.

The Result

We are proud to say that the people at Orliman are greatly satisfied with the result. The new brand identity is perfectly integrated with the current features so the website is not only remarkably fast, but is also stunningly beautiful and more mobile responsive. Thanks to Drupal 7, the back-office is extremely user friendly and more custom fields can be added later without much efforts.
